PROTECTION VS. FREE TRADE. T. T. Gccr Replies to a Criticism of ills Contribution to Our New Year's Number. Ed. Jeurnal: In writing my New Year'H article for your paper on Oregon agriculture I was absolutely free from referring to anything of n political naturo or to any political party, yet within a week Borne gen tleman from Turner uses it aa a text for an attack on the Republican party and its policy of protection to Am&icau industries. It was not claimed that I went beyond the truth in stating that our farmers are, as a Inle, fairly prosperous, but the charge is made that a man cannot refer to this fact without praising the Republican party. Then if the Republican party is responsible for good prices for farm produce and low prices for manufactured articles we are perfectly willing to shoulder it, but there can certainly bo do reason for suppressing the fact. But I studiously avoided any ref erence to politics, principally to escape such criticisms as the one now under consideration. It only proves what I have long known, that if I should write an article devoted ex clusively to discussing the "five Points of Calvinism" and should close with n glowing expression of approval of the Sermon on the Mount, with an original set of maxltnt approaching as nearly as possible to the ten command ments themselves, It would meet the approbation of every man in this county, with the exception that a half dozen whom I could name, would, upon reading my Blgaature, declare that the senti ments were inspired by his satanlo m ijesty, and were for political cflect only. The first declaration is that the policy of protection is "heathenish, barbarous and unjust," and yet the flr.st act of the fiist congress of tbo Uuited Btales, composed largely of the very men who made the consti tution itself, was fur tho policy of protection of manufacturing indus tries and so declared to bo in its title, and although plainly "heathcnlBb, barbarous and unjust," was cheer fully signed by President Wash ington. James Madison, who served two tei ms as president of the United States, and who, more than any other man was tho father of the constitution, and in nfter years piepareu tlio strongest argument of his life to prove tho constitutionality of a protective tariff law. The manufacture of tin plato is today an "infant Industry" as much as any that existed a hundred years ago, when Washington, Madison, and their illustrious compatriots decided to protect their homo man ufactures. Your correspondent says: "it is as barbarous, neatlieu- lsh and unjust for the protectionist to prevent any citizen from trading where and with whom he pleases, as it would bo for government to dictate his speech, tbo cut of Ins olnthcs, or Ills vote." tin you can now see whathcatheus, barbarians und tyrants Washington and Madison wero. I havo always suspected that history over-estimated their claim to modern adminis tration, and now my susplclcion has been verified from this electric light from Turner. Again, I urge upon our farmers the necessity of supplying our own markets with eggs, butter, cbeeee, etc., and not allowing these pro ducts to bo longer shipped to our owu people for consumption. But your correspondent BayB I am wrong, and that slnco the Iowa farmer buys our fruit wo ought to buy his hams and eggs. His exact latiguage is that both states will be "benefitted by the exchange." Buch nonsensical traddle as this could emanate from no one except an absolute free trader. The very fact that Iowa cannot raise her fruit as bo alleges, while we can, and that wo can raise our oggs and bams just aa well as Iowa can, would Justify the Inter-state tarlfl law he supposes, from the Oregon standpoint, because Iowa must buy ber fruit, while Oregon can raise her own poultry and pork. Bee ? The relation of the United States to the rest of the world la similar to that between Oregon and Iowa as to fruit and poultry, hence, a protective tarlfl. Governor McKlnley of Ohio reduced prices for manufactured articled and hence we have a "heathen" In the execu tlve office of the Uuited States. The only other point your corre spondent tries to rnako U that a protective tari If cripples commerce and producer "stagnation of trade." Let us nee. la bis message to congrew last month the prwldent submitted fF these facts from tho official record i Tho total value of our. foreign commerce (imports ana exports combined) during tho pa"! year was $1,747,800,400, being over $100,000,000 more than that of any other year of our national history. This was under tho McKlnley bill and shows to what a fearful extent our trade is "stagnated." Wo even Imported $11,000,000 moro merchaudlso last year under the McKlnley bill than during the year before under a lower tarlft. Stagnation of trade ! But now let us examine another stntetneut from tho president a specimen of sheer logto fresh from its home lu the mountains of truth; a fact cold, invluclblo and unanswer able. Tho value of free imports during the last twelvo months was $118,092,387 moro than the value of frto Imports during tho twelve mbnths preceding. Now, if there has been more than ono hundred million dollars' worth of free mer chandise Imported under tho Mc Klnley bill than under the former tarlfl lawp, Just where does the stagnation in trade occur? Let us know, please. Your correspondent refers to the tnrlfF being n tax, and to tho alleged fact that tho amount of tho duty is always added to the prico of an article, but in his speech in Portland last fall Hon. V D. Byuum of Idlana, n promiuent Democratic candidate for the speakership in the present congress, said, "The pilco of wool haa fallen, other conditions bclug equal, every timo tho duty has been ralsod." Mow, the question Is, what bo comt'B of the "tax" levied ou wool that "becomes cheaper every tlmo the duty la raised?" If an article becomes cheaper every time it is taxed then ttie tariff is not a tax, is it? For a good wholesome lesson ou tho affect of taxing an article by levying a duty on it, your corres pondent is referred to Hon. W. D. Byrum, or Indiana. Ho Bays a tariff is not a tax for it always makes somo articlea cheaper. Meanwhile the facta remain true as stated in ray New Year's letter that tho hon of our daddies would buy but two pounds of sugar while today sno will buy, or rathor her lineal descendants will, twelve pounds. Iu mentioning this fact with several others similar to it, my friend accuses mo of praising tho Republican party. I did not say these good things were tho result of Republican legislation, but if ho thinks they aro, then bo inuoh the better. Buch direct testimonials as theso, coming as thoy do from tho enemy, aro accepted with tho most grateful appreciation. They wero really ray sentlmouts, also, but I was too modest to gtvo them utterance. T. T. Geeh. Macleay, Oregon, Jan. 12, 1802. A SI'BL'IAI. 8K8SION I.NOIsrENSlIlLK. Governor Pennoyer is justified in trying to get congress to pass a special appropriation of $430,000 to build a portage railway at Tho Dal les of tho Columbia. But Holmau's resolution In congress cuta oft all hope of Its passage. Tho situation Is such that all large, or special, or unusual appropriation' must fail. With Holman in charge of ap propriations, and tho Hill polioy of Inltlatlug no now legislation, the only opportunity for tho Democratic party to mako a record is on tho score of economy. Its otmpalgn thunder for 1802 must bo obtained along tho line of setting down on all such demands as that for portago railway at The Dalles, Under the circumstances Governor Pennoyer will not renll.o much from tbo Democratic congress hostile to ap propriations and hostllo to publlo improvements because tho very life of tho party depends in tho presi dential contest soly upon its record at this session for economy. The governor, If ho Is In earnest to secure relief for Eastern Oregon farmers, must realize by this time that ho stands no show of getting government aid for a portago rail way from Washington. If the house woufd allow It, tho sonato is committed to other plans. There is not tho ghost of a chance for its ever getting through. The only relief for Eastern Oregon lies lu an extra session of the legis lature. It can be assembled by March 1st. Iu a two-weeks' session It can provide for a portage railway at The Dalles and it can bo built In tlmo for this fall's crop. There is no doubt such a bill would pass tho legislature almost unanimously. Kor the Children. "In buying a cough medicine for children," says II.

Tho steam boat Telephone has at last been raised off tho jetty at tho mouth of tho Wiilamottcr, where she stuck somo days ago. Wodnesday evening, after 5 o'clock whon everything was in readiness, tho steamer Bonita was hailed, as sho camo down from the Cascades. Sho then towed tho wrecked steamer off along with tho two barges. Tho Telephone, supported by theso, is now about 160 yards up the river on tho shore of Coon island, on tho point of which she struck. Ten or twelvo ohalns were passed under hor from tho bow to tho atom. Tho ends of thorn wero connected with the two barges on eithor side, Thoy wero fastened tojaok screws and gradually raised. It was a very difficult task. Tho steamer was bo heavy with tho water and ma chinery that sho roso very slowly. Tho work was kept up and every inch that sho camo out of tho water was eagerly watched by Captains Scott aud Crlohton and Mr. Seeby, tho owners, who wero presont. Tho rlvor has fallen six feet slnco tho steamor first struck, so that tho task was much harder than it would havo been had the work been com monccd immediately. A strong tide sot lu yesterday aftoruoon from the ocean, aud tho wator came up four foot, raakiug the work easier. Bi foro this sho had been lying ou tho Jetty, which was only one or two feet uudor water. Wheu the Bonita bltehed to the Telephone and started tho thrall boat and two barges wero pulled away from the breakwater. The steamor was floating some Inches from It when tho Bonita began tow ing. Sho was takon out into the channel and tho procession moved slowly up tho river. A convenient placo was found unobstruct3d by snags, and the Bonita towed .them In. Tho wrecked boat Is about In the snnio position as when she first struck, though she is somo feet higher out of the wator, Whon the Undluo passed this morning the top of tho wheel was Been, and tbo crews on tho barges wero hard at work raising hor further. At present sue draws about fifteen foot of water, so that there is much work to be done before sho can bo brought here, Thocontruotors.Paquotto&Smlth, who are doing tbo work will bring her to their yard in East Portland. Sho will bo put ou their drydook, such as It Is, where tho hole In her bottom can be repaired. No examination of tho bole In the steamer has yet bcon made. The divers paid little attention to this whon passing tho chains under, bo that tho cost of repairs cannot bo do fluately given, though It Is estimated at $10,000. Tho steamer cost $06,000, so that tho owners havo got up with a small loss in comparison with what it was put at when she was first seen. Bho will bo towed up to Portland in a day or bo, but it Is not yet fully decldod, as this all depends on the time required te ratso tho steamer. It is feared there Is moro damage to bo repaired than at first seemed to bo the case. Tho roof to tho cabin has risen up In several places, which may mako It necessary to take It off entirely. Tho saving of this steamor is a great benefit to Columbia river com merce, Sho was tho fastens boat oa tho rlvor, und did a large bufiloett between hero uud Astoria, as shown at tho time of the wreak, when thero wero eighty-five passengers on board , Captain Scott Is also opea to congratulations, because lie has bees bo often unlucky lu the pU The other owners will also bo JwtJy pleased.
